s some of you have already heard, I have decided not to renew the lease for
ur second store, Your Move Games (located in Davis Square, Somerville, MA). As
result, the store's last day will be Saturday, June 26th 2010. The sad fact
s that the store had been losing money for quite some time even before we
ought it last July. In spite of all the time and money sunk into the store over
he past year, we have not been able to hit break even, and Pandemonium simply
oesn't have the resources to keep Your Move afloat.
The silver lining of this situation is that we will be able to focus all of our
fforts and resources on improving Pandemonium in every way over the next few
onths. We will be consolidating the staffs, fixtures, inventories and events
f both stores at Pandemonium. No we won't be able to fit [i]everything[/i],
ut we will able to get most everything, I think. We will be rearranging
andemonium's downstairs area to make more room for a larger roster of events
nd a more diverse inventory of games. Book lovers will be pleased to know that
ith a larger staff, my attention will be freed up to focus on improving
andemonium's book selection and literary events, both of which have suffered
ver the last year.
All members of Your Move Games will have their accounts moved over to
andemonium, including all credits and Frequent Buyer points. People who have
ccounts at both stores will simply have their credit and points from Your Move
ames added to their Pandemonium membership. As mentioned above, we will be
oving most of the contents of Your Move Games to Pandemonium, so we will not be
aving a closeout sale at Your Move Games. With any luck, we will be announcing
he enhanced schedule of events at Pandemonium over the next couple of weeks and
ill hopefully be able to kick them off after the Fourth of July weekend.
